Starting yesterday, we’ve been having problems with our Blackberries. Our SIMs keep getting rejected. Don’t know what’s up with that.

I did not sleep well last night, the sore throat that started in Hangzhou developed into a full-fledged cold. I’ve spent most of today under a lot of blankets sweating my ass off. This is supposed to help. Sabrina made me ginger congee too, which cranked the sweating up to a high level.

So far, still sick.

Spent most of today in bed, working on the laptop, reading or sleeping.

Sabrina went out for groceries and tickets to Beijing for tomorrow. When she came back, she had a traditional Chinese cold remedy. It made a dark brown tea, about the colouir of Coke. But tasted like licorice, not nearly as bad as Sabrina led me to expect. That cranked the sweat back up before bed.
